Answer / rajkumar.p
These permissions are depends upon the umask value. By
default in Linux umask value is 022. So Default file
permission is 644(666-022) & Default directory permission is
755(777-022).

Answer / abi
these are for root user...bt for normal users i think they
are 664 for file and 775 for directories.(666-002=664 and
777-002=775).therefore for root user the umask is 022 and
for normal users the umask is 002.

Answer / susheel narayan singh
The umask of user whose uid is 0 to 100 is 022 (by default)
The umask of user whose uid is above then 100 is 002 (by
default)
So
1- The permission of file and directory create by user
whose uid is 0 to 100
dir permission is full permission - umask=(777-022)
ans- 755
file permission is dir permission - execute=(755-111)
ans-644
2- The permission of file and directory create by user
whose uid is above to 100
dir permission is full permission - umask=(777-002)
ans-775
file permission is dir. permission - execute=(775-111)
ans-664
Note:
read=4
write=2
execute=1
> if you want to change umask setting then edit -
# vim /etc/bashrc (file)
